Its for the long arm brackets I think. I'm not sure. I know u need to cut a pice out of the body mounts for the long arms to work.I know tht for sure. Are u getting the lift or just the arms?

Maybe a dumb question but won't the long arms bend easier being longer.

No clue. I would hope tht they have that all worked out by now. The kit has been around for a good bit now. I don't think they make a 2" body lift. I know they make a 3" but 2" not so sure about.

I have 7" skyjacker springs on the front of my ram and I haven't had any problems with the drive shafts.

I just figured picking the body up would help those tires flex more. How do you have the back lifted.

For a lift that big I hope he has spring and not blocks!
